Cheery holiday drinks toast the season

December 22, 2014

Feeling festive but need a break? Many area eateries and watering holes are decking their halls with adult beverages celebrating the holiday season.

Here’s a taste: At the newly renovated Earl’s on the 16th Street Mall, which is sleek and snazzy, drinks for the season include the Clover Club No. 4 Holiday Edition made with Skyy Vodka, raspberry, lemongrass, fresh lemon juice, lime bitters and meringue foam and topped with a stencil.

ViewHouse locations at 2015 Market St. in the Ballpark neighborhood and at 7101 S. Clinton St. in Centennial are serving up a special Peppermint Godiva Chocolate Martini made with Godiva Chocolate Liqueur, Crème de Menthe, Grey Goose Vodka and heavy cream in a classic martini glass with a crushed peppermint candy rim. The bar staff is also introducing a total of eight specialty martinis, each made with a different spirit

The Hard Rock Cafe, 500 16th St., helps you celebrate in style with some innovative cocktail recipes that embrace the spirit (and flavors) of the season.

Hard Rock Cafe is introducing a line of limited-edition cocktails that will get guests ready to raise a glass and make the holidays all the merrier. They are:

* Coco Press – a warm twist on Hard Rock’s new press cocktails; features a mix of Amaretto, Bacardi Oakheart and hot chocolate, served in a coffee-press vessel over whole marshmallows.

* Pumpkinpalooza– a homemade milkshake blended with pumpkin puree and Maker’s Mark bourbon, topped with whipped cream and caramel syrup.

* Pomegranate Prosecco – toast the holiday season with this bubbly mix of Prosecco, white sangria mix and pomegranate seeds with a rosemary sprig for garnish.
